[UPDATE 7/5/18 4:31 p.m] The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department says a brush fire broke out in the area of Klamathon Road and Cougar Street. Sheriff Lopey saus the fire spread in a northwest direction and Jumped the Klamath river. This jeopardized numerous residents of the Klamath River Country estates, the private "R Ranch" and the residents of Hornbrook, California. The town is under an evacuation order and affects 300 to 400 people.

“The SCSO’s Dispatch Center distributed a ‘Code Red’ advisory to citizens of the evacuation order and we are currently coordinating emergency responses and evacuation activities with the County Office of Emergency Services, and assisting federal, state, and local agencies. We ask all citizens impacted to comply with the evacuation order. It is suggested impacted residents secure valuables, essential documents, needed medications, pets, and other animals as soon as possible and leave the area until the area is declared safe. Lock and secure all homes, other buildings, and vehicles left behind to the extent possible and monitor updates from local authorities. All residents are advised to stay away from fire-impacted areas and we ask that residents do not interfere with emergency vehicles or first responders operating in the area. Notify authorities if you or someone you know do not have the ability to evacuate safely and promptly due to any factor. Citizens not immediately impacted by the evacuation order should prepare to evacuate in the unlikely event the fire spreads to contiguous or nearby areas,” said Sheriff Lopey.
